Bryan KonietzkoCo-Creator and Executive Producer of Avatar: The Last Airbender
Bryan Konietzko was born in 1976 in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, and started drawing shortly thereafter. He moved to a suburb of Atlanta, then to a suburb of Louisville, and then back to a different suburb of Atlanta. He read fantasy novels, played a lot of guitar, and listened to a lot of Rush. In 1994, he went back to Ohio and did his foundation year at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He then transferred to the Rhode Island School of Design where he met his friend and future collaborator, Michael Dante DiMartino. In 1998, Bryan graduated from RISD and joined Michael in Los Angeles, where the latter helped the former get his foot in the door of the TV animation industry working on Family Guy, Mission Hill, and King of the Hill. In 2000, Bryan worked at Nickelodeon on Invader Zim. When that show ended in 2002, Bryan and Michael were recruited by Eric Coleman to create and pitch their own series. The result was Avatar: The Last Airbender, which premiered in 2005. In 2012 they premiered the sequel series, The Legend of Korra. Bryan has released music along the way under the name Ginormous, and he's been chipping away at an original graphic novel series called Threadworlds which will hopefully be released before he dies in some suburb.

Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award by the arbitrator of reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration.
